Careers and Jobs
Every day we work to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the country’s 155 national forests and 20 national grasslands. The Forest Service offers you a rewarding career focused on managing national forest lands for multiple uses such as recreation opportunities, ecosystem management and clean water. Our jobs are as diverse as the landscapes we manage.
Look for entry level positions in the Intermountain Region for duty locations throughout southern Idaho, Nevada, Utah and western Wyoming.
